Quote:This is because they switched to full DPS specs for levelling, and found their aggro holding substantially gimped for it.
I have seen protection warriors do DPS. About 600 dps or so from Malaclypse's protection warrior going dual wield on Pathaleon (pre-nerf heroic), if I recall right, that being in high-end instance blues with the Blacksmithing epic one-hand hammer. I think it's misleading to say protection warriors absolutely cannot do DPS, just because they can't do as much as a fully specced DPS class.
600 DPS with no raid-benefiting debuffs or buffs (literally, all they can do is provide another Shout, since Sunder is covered by the tank.) Even a Retrinoob would be better in that slot (not that they can't do modest DPS; it's just that Holy is a much better tree than both Protection and Retribution for PvE.)
ArrayPaladins were not meant to sit in the back of the raid staring at health bars all day, spamming heals and listening to eight different classes whine about buffs.[/quote]
